fellowship

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

- 1 John 1:7 (NIV)

 

If you google “definition of fellowship” you will see several options:

• definition of fellowship in the Bible
• definition of fellowship in education
• definition of fellowship in church
• definition of fellowship with God

These are just four of the options that came up for me.

According to our friend google, the word fellowship is derived from the Greek word koinonia which can be defined as “holding something in common”.

Well, that makes sense, because when we “fellowship” with others it is usually people that we work with, ride motorcycles with, or go to church with, so we literally have something in common with them – a community of interest, activity feeling or experience (thank you, Merriam-Webster).

We are taught at a young age to be with people that we have something in common with so that we are not bored and alone, so we have someone to lean on when we fall.

When we fellowship with those with whom we find a commonality, we learn to reach out to those that we don’t know so we can build relationships.

When we walk in the light, we learn to build relationships, to fellowship so we have that community to fall back on.

Will you come fellowship with me?
